I really enjoyed talking about misinformation on this financial podcast! One connection that stood out: just as diversifying our investments protects us from financial risk, diversifying our identities can make us more resilient to misinformation. share.transistor.fm/s/d69825bf

AI has promise but also huge pitfalls. The blunt truth is Big Tech is robbing artists, scientists & consumers’ data & work to train their AI models—without consent & free of charge. My AI Accountability & Personal Data Protection Act would provide rights & remedies.

Congratulation to @dlbookman.bsky.social and @aupresses.bsky.social

My book was already spotted in the wild! The official release date is July 8th, but you might be able to get it earlier. Thank you Margaret, for your support!!

It should go without saying, but apparently it needs to be said: if you are peer reviewing a ms for a scholarly press, DO NOT feed that ms into an AI machine to write your reader report for you. DO NOT.

My book comes out next month, and I’m putting together a book tour! So far, I’ve lined up talks at a few universities and local bookstores, but I’d love to reach a broader audience (anyone interested in misinformation, science, trust) If you know a place that might be interested, please let me know!

Tech friends, I would love to see more social scientists like @matthewfacciani.bsky.social studying fascinating and important societal-level phenomena at our conferences!

White House rhetoric dehumanizes disabled communities, but activists continue to organize for access, care and justice.
